Silent Symptoms Podcast is back like never before. In this podcast, I discuss why I took a hiatus from the podcast. As I stated before, breaks are necessary for critical reflection. Have you ever felt like you needed a break from something you loved? Part of my hiatus was to build my private practice so it can coincide with the podcast. Silent Symptoms is my baby, I didn't want to spread myself thin through life changes so I needed a break to create room for other areas of growth. I break down what I was doing during my break and what I learned throughout the process.

On this episode, I was inspired by my recent trip to the Dominican Republic and the media coverage. At the beginning of the year, the American media went public about American people dying allegedly because of the alcohol but there was never a formal investigation done. When I decided to go the DR, people were outraged and concerned about me potentially going into a death trap. I was not worried because I had done my research about the DR and the tourism. Do you know that the DR has one of the lowest death rates in tourism? The point I willing be making is that, of times, we let the news and social media affect us mentally before doing any research. We repost articles without verification and we internalize unnecessary fear. I dive into why we shouldn't let the media dictate how we live. Take a listen!

On this episode, I talk about the misconceptions of black people and therapy. This episode was a heart to heart to the black community about therapy. I discuss how resilient we are as a community which can cause failure to thrive because we feel as though we have it all figured out. We go to the doctor when we are physically sick, why can't we got to a therapist when we're mental and spiritually in demise? This platform was created to make us aware that therapy does not mean failure.
